    This looks so good, sandy. What size box of pasta did you use? I have some that are just 12 oz., others are 16 oz. I wanna make this for supper tonight if I have everything on hand. Thanks!

    Oh Lord, this was some kind of perfect!!! This tasted like a dish you would get at a 5 Star restaurant! It was creamy and rich and oh so satisfying! The only changes I made was to use fat free half n' half instead of heavy cream. I also doubled the minced garlic because I just can't get enough garlic! I added some cornstarch to thicken the sauce. The flavor of the chicken that is sauteed in the bacon grease is out of this world! I wish I would of doubled all the ingredients because there aren't any leftovers! I love you Sandysunshine!!! I added my photo:)

    Made this for the recipe swap...it was very good and I followed the recipe exactly...except...I added mushrooms...cus we love 'em and I had 'em and they went GREAT with these ingredients. This was easy to make, and tasted great. As much as we love fried stuff, we'll prolly grill the chicken next time, just for preference. Thank you, Sandy!
